Schumer on CNN stops short of saying impeaching Trump would be a priority for Dems if they retake Congress

And this is why the old (bought and paid for by ISRAEL) guard needs to be put out to pasture. He’s trying to maintain status quo while the government is collapsing. This is the kind of cowardice that only protects the coup. Straightening deck chairs on the titanic

There are reasons to remove Schumer, this talking point isn't one. Trump's already been impeached twice and he's still president. Fight the current nonsense, undo the damage, if they get the majority and then stop him from running in '28. Congressional charges won't move the needle on any of those

There is a way for Schumer to frame the answer that speaks to political reality without sounding like he's willing to roll over. Weakness is death right now.

In my opinion, the political reality is that Americans don't care about impeachment. It's a poor tool, particularly if the individual isn't removed. Trump has two. Priorizing a third won't get Schumer anything he hasn't already lost with his pitiful leadership.

Infuriating. WTF is he talking about, their goal is to show the people what Dump's doing? Does he think the people are STUPID? Or just too bored with it all to notice? EVERYONE KNOWS ALREADY! That's not his job, that may be the press's job, but it's not his. Stop w/all the pretense.

If Democrats don't promise to impeach Trump they won't retake Congress. There's no other platform that matters right now. I can't even with these people.

He's not going to ever commit to impeaching Trump. It's just not important to him. Why would it be? He's wealthy and connected. He and the people important to him are wealthy, connected, and safe. Why should it matter to him if other Americans are not? He doesn't associate with those people

I think with all of the *waves hands at Trump & Co shredding the Constitution on an hourly basis since Jan. 20, 2025* there's plenty of evidence for making that case. Provided the Democrats could find where they put their spines, guts, and moral compasses.

"Well, look...let me be clear...at the end of the day...we know the rule of law is being violated, we know the president and his cabinet are violating the constitution,we see that the people in charge of defense, security,education,and health are unqualified. Rest assured, strongly worded memos..."

Reps need to be pressured to. Weak politicians want to leave everything up to the voters. Who NEVER have all the information, because Reps keep failing to prove things. And while Justice has its hands tied. It's not an even playing field. And not politics of yesteryear.

I hate to say it, but it's not just Schumer. I've called my MoC and Senators multiple times to tell them Dems need to start talking about impeachment. AFAIK, *none* of them are. Not even 'fighters' like AOC, Van Hollen, Sanders, Warren, Crockett, etc.

Americans might start to understand that their ultra corrupt political system is the cause of all this mess... A system that legalized corruption via "lobbying" and where "donations" money runs the election system is not a democracy but a plutocracy! Maybe a general reform is the only solution...

And Trump and his handlers know this. That is why they are dismantling voting rights now, going after Democratic judges and creating chaos for a possible Martial Law declaration before voting takes place…..maybe. 🤐

They’re not going to retake Congress with Chuck around and in charge of senate candidates. He’s the biggest gift to Republicans - my guess he’s making millions in Trumps stock market.

I expect the situation to worsen, so that by the midterms, the Republicans will lose many of their 20 seats up for relection. I hope that will be a wake up call for the next class of Senate Republicans who don't wish a similar fate in the next general election. I know it's probably a fairy tail.

Hasn’t trump been impeached a couple of times already? I believe it’s not to just impeach him but to hold him accountable for his actions but first things first Chuck and Dana; dems have to be elected to have control!!

Too limiting of a perspective, forget all that. We have 77% of the total American population that did not vote for the traitor. We have MORE than the numbers needed to force ANYONE in congress, ANYWHERE, to do what has to be done. We just need to mobilize, to activate deep swaths of the people.

Easier said than done, but this is THE CHALLENGE. It's activating and mobilizing and pressuring on a socially broad-based way. And then, ANY Republican will do whatever the fuck we tell them to-- if they want to keep their job, as the coalition to pack them out is always in existence, just latent.

"We have MORE than the numbers needed to force ANYONE in congress, ANYWHERE, to do what has to be done." 1) Corporate capture (aka corruption) means that electeds can largely ignore the electorate and still win. 2) If people are willing to collectively withhold support, they'll have leverage.

Why????!!! It would turn out voters in droves. They just don’t get it. All the slow-walking by Biden’s DOJ had people so very disgusted.

This is actually the prudent thing to say publicly. There are idiots out there who might be inclined to vote Democrat in the midterms but then might not if they think Democrat control would definitely lead to Trump's impeachment (which it absolutely must).

Here is the answer if you don't want to commit: "Trump has committed many impeachable offenses. I'd like you to ask every single Republican Senator why he or she won't even consider it. Meanwhile, our priority will be blocking and reversing every damaging thing he's done to the American people."

Why would Republicans consider it? This is what they've been working toward since Nixon. If Cuck Schumer still can't figure out that Republicans are never going to work with him no matter how many times he gives them everything they want, he's too stupid to keep his job.
